I’m Matthew Mellor — a cloud and DevOps-focused technology leader based in Texas.
I’ve spent 17+ years across networking, infrastructure, and cloud platform operations. Over time, my work has shifted from keeping systems up to helping teams build better systems from the start: more automation, clearer standards, and fewer operational surprises.
How I work #
I’m practical by default. I care less about hype and more about whether something is useful, supportable, and safe in production.
The systems I aim to build are:
- easy for the team to understand and own
- secure and compliant by design
- automated enough to reduce repetitive toil
- resilient when real-world pressure hits
I enjoy the blend of leadership and hands-on execution — setting direction, mentoring engineers, and still digging into architecture and implementation details.
